Not the country Mekons you might be familiar with. You can hear what the band orginally sounded like. This album sounds a lot like early Public Image Ltd. It's very good.

I had this in my music library for a while, before I decided to try out what early Mekons sounded like. I was completely blown away by the quality and innovation in this album. It puts the noise rock of Sonic Youth and the experimental punk of The Liars written up to 25 years later to shame. I can't believe that this album has never received any attention or a re-issue worthy of what it is. Also a shame that the Mekons gave up on this type of sound since they apparently never got the acclaim they deserved for what they did. Here's hoping some indie label will pick this baby up and give it the re-issue it deserves.
